We are fan of Shake Shack, Shroom Burger and Chicken sandwich but since pandemic the quality and quantity was not great as before Shake Shack’s ’Shroom Burger and Chicken Shack sandwich cater to different cravings, but both offer high-quality ingredients and bold flavors. Here’s a review of each: ’Shroom Burger This is Shake Shack’s vegetarian option, but even meat lovers might enjoy it. Instead of a plant-based patty, it features a crispy-fried portobello mushroom filled with melted Muenster and cheddar cheese. The mushroom has a crunchy, golden crust, and when you bite into it, the molten cheese oozes out. It’s topped with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce on a soft potato bun. Pros: • Incredibly crispy and satisfying texture • Rich, gooey cheese filling • Great umami flavor Cons: • Can be greasy due to the fried mushroom • The cheese filling can get too hot and messy Chicken Shack Shake Shack’s take on the fried chicken sandwich is a crispy, buttermilk-marinated chicken breast topped with lettuce, pickles, and buttermilk herb mayo, all inside their signature potato bun. The chicken is juicy inside with a crunchy, well-seasoned coating. The mayo adds a creamy, tangy balance to the crispiness. Pros: • Crispy yet tender chicken • Buttermilk herb mayo enhances flavor • High-quality ingredients Cons: • Slightly small portion for the price • Could use more seasoning or spice for extra punch Verdict If you love cheese and mushrooms, the ’Shroom Burger is a must-try, but it’s quite rich. If you’re craving a crispy chicken sandwich with fresh flavors, the Chicken Shack delivers—though it’s not the most standout option in the crowded fried chicken sandwich space. Would you pick one over the other, or are you more of a ShackBurger fan?

A modern trendy smash burger joint with decent food and pricey drinks. The self serve kiosk asks for a table number but failed to provide table tent numbers to choose from. The food was good and service was longer than expected but acknowledged as my meal was made fresh and hot.

Although the service was fast and the atmosphere was nice, the chicken sandwich that I got would have been nicer had the top bun covered the entirety of the chicken breast. After taking three bites, there was little to no top bun remaining which meant I was holding the chicken breast along with the remaining lettuce and tomatoes and the bottom bun. DO BETTER SHAKE SHACK!!
